The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Riviere de Galets over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – this one’s a tough stretch. The forecast is loaded with strong, gusty cross-onshore winds that are gonna mess up what could have been some serious size. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°.
We’ve got a big gap of no good surf right from the start. The first few days are all blown out thanks to those winds. Monday the 7th morning sees a 7ft SSW groundswell with a period of 15 seconds, but that cross-on SSE wind at 9 mph is making it a choppy, marginal mess. The combined energy is strong (2373), but it’s not doing you any favours. The rest of that week is pretty much a write-off – the wind just gets stronger, with conditions described as "poor" day after day.
The swell really gets pumping mid-week, with Wednesday the 9th morning seeing a massive 15ft SSW groundswell and a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is off the charts (12014), but with a strong cross-onshore wind at 25 mph, that’s 100% a kiteboarding session, not a paddle session. That setup is just too messy for us.
We do get a few flickers of hope. The best chance in the whole window looks like Friday the 11th morning. The swell drops to 8ft, but it’s coming from the ESE with a short period of 9 seconds. The wind is cross-shore at 16 mph, so it’s lumpy cross-chop, but it’s the most ridable option we’ve got, with a combined energy of 1931. It’s still marginal, but it’s the standout.
Moving into the second week, things don’t really improve. Tuesday the 15th morning and Thursday the 17th morning both have potential for size – 10ft swells – but the forecast notes the swell is predicted to be too big for this break, and the wind is still messy. The long-range stuff from the 19th onward is just small, windy, and poor.
So, to sum it up: the only day that’s even worth a look is Friday the 11th morning if you’re desperate. The rest of the 16 days is a wind-blown, messy affair. But hey, it’s a fairly consistent spot, so it tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change.
Stay salty,
Rusty
